Right now my favorite book is World War Z, One of the greatest Zombie books I have ever read and the most accurate. Written by Max Brooks, the same author as the Zombie Survival Guide. The only non series book that I have read multipule times frequently.

i have read a lot of books but i liked just one of them most an it is "The Bronze Horseman" by Paullina Simons which is a romance book.

the story goes about a girl named tatiana from a poor family and a guy named alexander wich is an officer.i liked the story so much because it was my first reading in romance books and i never forget it. i have read other Paullina Simons books and i didn't find anything interesting in them.

I have read the popular "Gone With The Wind" book and i think the bronze horseman i just better. anyway i see a lot of interesting books in this topic which i will try them so you can try the bronze horeman too.

The question is very simple, what is your favourite boook? And why? I have also added a small pool about how many books do you read each year.
Anyway my favourite is L.A. Confidential written by James Ellroy.
It's a very good police story with a intriguing plot, but it's also a masterpiece of politic and social analize. The power games of institutions, the corruption that have attacked police and government and the general undeground atmosphere are the pillars fo this beautiful book. It isn't a simply police book, but a fresco of a society and of a period of the US history.

I'm 14 and my favorite book is Strange Occurrences, written by Ashlee Craft (you can buy it on Amazon Kindle). Basically, it's about a teen aged girl with a very dysfunctional family and low self-esteem. After her Grandmother, who is her only friend in the worldd dies, the "Strange Occurrences" take her back to moments in her life and show her other people's points of view, which ultimately show her she's a better person then she thinks she is and that she can change how things are going in her home life.

At the time that I read Strange Occurrences, I was going through some really hard things in life - nothing seemed to be going right for me, just like the main character in the book, Cathy. I was feeling realy low and down about myself. On the recommendation of one of my friends, I read the book. By the end of it I had tears in my eyes and I really feel it changed my life around. It's just a really good feel-good book. :)

One of my favorite books is Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. At first, I find it hard to understand his message but later on, it makes sense to me and I get inspired. I like reading something that would help be to be a better person. :)

Not really individual books, but I loved the series by Terry Goodkind that the TV show Legend of the Seeker was based on. A dozen books, including Debt of Bones Wizard's First Rule
Stone of Tears Blood of the Fold Temple of the Winds Soul of the Fire Faith of the Fallen The Pillars of Creation Naked Empire Chainfire Phantom Confessor.

My second favorite is also a series, rather than an indvidual book, and the series was written by several authors but they were all very good, was the Star Wars series. I think I have read nearly every one of them, though I may of missed a few. There were a lot of those.

Ive been a reader of Chicken Soup For The Soul...i love reading this book because it entails a lot of moral lessons...you can also read different true stories that can also be of help or applicable to a particular situation one can have...

My Favourit book is 'The Anointing' by Benny hinn. I loved it because it tells us about how he came into ministry and his very first experiences as a minister of God when he started serving the Lord.

Recently whatever books I read recently like Custody by Manju Kapur or Gone Tomorrow by Lee Child I read I liked them all. But I would go for Chronicles of Narnia By CS Lewis as my favorite one.
I am 26 right now but this book took me to those days of my childhood when I used to watch popular Children's shows like Jungle Book or Alice In Wonderland.This novel is a collection of 7 novels wherein I liked 'The Lion,the witch and the wardrobe'.the most.The fact that in this imaginary land of Narnia where every beast can talk with each other irrespective of the species to which they belong to.made me wonder what kind of experience it would have been if I could also interact with birds,animals.In short the child within me was peeping and trying to come out from the corridors of my mind.So it was an all throughout wonderful experience to read it.I would recommend every child to read it as it will not only make that child learn a story but also teach moral values through the words of Aslan, the king of Narnia.
